HARRY K. SADDLER, OF OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-ELALF .TOCLIFFQRB' G. TAYLOR, OF OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA.

SMOKING-PIPE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IIARRY K. SAnDLER, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Oakmont, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements inSmoking-Pipes, of which the following is a s ecification, referencebeing had therein to fully described, and then specifically pointedout-in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing forming art of this specification, likenumerals of re erence designate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, in which:.-

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved pipe, Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsectional view of the same illustrating the slide thereof inside'elevation, Fig. 3 is an end view of the bowl of the pipe, the slidebeingremoved, Fi .4 is a perspective view of the slide.

T the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated a pipe, consisting ofafbowl 1, a stem 2 having a bore 3 communicating with the bowl 1, and amouth-piece 4. The stem 2 is provided with a ferrule or cap 5, and saidstem is connected to the mouth-piece a bye threaded sleeve 6. Myinvention resides in providing the underneath side or bottom of the stemwith a tapering dove-tail groove or undercut recess 7, said grooveintersecting the bore 3 of the stem .2 and the howl I. Detachablymounted in the groove 7 is a tapering dove tail shaped slide'R having aknobbed end 9, whereby the slidecan be easily manipulated; The slide isadapted to snuglyfit within said groove and extend into the ferrule orcup 5 and prevent air from entering or escaping through the groove. Thetop 10 of the slide is flat and lornls the bottom of the bore 3 and thebottonrol' the bowl '1, consequently when the slide is removed,

which forms the lower wall of the'smoke bore within the stem. And suchslide, when moved into position, has its inner end located between thethreaded sleeve and the cap or ferrule butfree from engagementtherewith. The slide is therefore, removable or insertible withoutrequirin manipulation of the mouthpiece, its remova exposing the threadsof the atter within the stem ermitting access thereto in case the mout-piece should be found to stick in attempting to remove it; in additionthis structure permits of the use of any preferred form of mouthiece orany desired material, and the fact t at the top of the slide is flat andfree from rooves makes a surface which can be easily 0 eaned.

The knobbed end 9 of the slide can serve functionally as a handle whilethe pi e is being used, and with the exception 0 the knobbed end of theslide, the pipe resembles an ordinary smoking pipe.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

stem having a longitudinal smoke-bore, a

mouth iece removably secured to said stern, and a. ide mounted in saidstem, the inner end of the slide lying within said cap and between itand the threaded connection of the mouth piece, whereby the latter willbe exposed upon a removal of the slide, said slide having a flat uppersurface and having a longitudinal movement within the stem irrespectiveof the and cap. 7

2. The combination with a pipe and its stem having an undercut recessalong its bottom, a permanently-positioned cap on said stern, saidrecess extending into the cap, of a slide having a flat upper surfaceand formed to fit within and move lon itudinally of said recess, saidslide forming the bottom Wall of the smoke bore through the stem, theinner end of the slide extending within the cap and between it and thethreaded connection of the mouth piece, whereby the latter will beexposed upon a removal of the slide.

3. The combination with a pipe and its stem having an undercut recessalong its bottom, a permanently-positioned cap on said stem, saidrccessextending into the cap, of a I easy access may be had to the bore 3 andthe" bowl 1 for cleaning purposes, As shown, the slide 8 is formed witha flat'uppersurface- 1. A pipe having a bowl and stem, saidpermanently-positioned cap for said stem, 8, v

position of the mouth-piece tending within the cap and between it andslide having a fiat upper surface and formed! to fit within and movelongitudinally of said 5 recess, said slide forming the bottom wall ofthe smoke bore through the stem, said recess greatly decreasing in sizetoward the free end of the stem, the inner end ofi-the slide ex- .slidehaving a flat upper surface and formed to fit within and moveloiwitudinally of said recess, said slide forming the bottom wall of thesmoke bore through the stem, said recess greatly decreasing in sizetoward the free end I of the stem and said slide decreasing in sizetoward its inner end, the' inner end of the I slide extending within thecap and between it and the threaded connection of the mouth piece,whereby the latter will be exposed.

upon a removal of the slide.

5. A pipe having a stern, cap and mouth piece, an msertible slidemovable longitudinall of the stem and extending within the cap andbetween it and the threaded connection of the mouth piece, whereby thelatter will be exposed upon a removal of the slide, said slide beingremovable irrespective of the position of the mouth' iece.

6. A pipe having t e smoke bore of its stefin formed with a'removableflat bottom V81 i In testimony whereof I afiix my signature the presenceof two witnesses.
